Specialist Andrew Briggman (Nat Wolff) is an ambitious young soldier, whose quiet temperament and naive demeanour set him apart from his platoon. Everything changes when he meets his new squad leader, Sergeant Deeks (Alexander Skarsgård), a natural born soldier. Andrew immediately falls under Deeks’s spell, but when a young Afghan farmer is killed under questionable circumstances, Andrew’s admiration for Deeks becomes increasingly tainted. Trapped between his conscience and his survival when members of his platoon carry out a murderous scheme in the desolate wasteland of Southern Afghanistan, Andrew must face off against his once friends, ultimately forced to make an impossible split-second decision that will change him forever.

I was under the impression that Dan Krauss liked Casualties of War, so he figured he would remake and update it by transferring the story among the jihadists. Well, the director may have fulfilled his dream, but it was kind of a Potemkin Village - the film looked like a profound psychological drama on the outside, but behind the elaborate façade I found only a failed attempt at something deep. Apart from boredom, it didn’t stir any emotions in me.
